Our Father in Heaven

 During the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught His followers to pray to our Heavenly Father. Pray to Him this prayer today…and always. Meditate on those words.

Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. Matthew 6:9-13   

Our Father…. Most people who have memorized the Lord’s Prayer know the King James Version in their head and in their heart.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13 KJV

Jesus was teaching His disciples and followers how to pray…how to begin a conversation with the Heavenly Father. He was sharing God the Father with them. Our. Not MY. He is the God of each of us…whether we choose to acknowledge or even claim Him as our God…our Father. Personally, I do claim God the Father as my God…my Heavenly Father. I humbly look forward to one day standing before His throne in Heaven, bowing down before Him and thanking Him…and Jesus Christ my Savior, for their mercy.

Prayer ~ Thank You Jesus for teaching us to pray. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13 KJV
